New Report Card Shows Idaho Infrastructure Makes Barely Passing Grades
The Southern Idaho Section of the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) recently released the 2012 Report Card for Idaho’s infrastructure, which gives the state an overall grade of C-.
The vast majority of Idaho’s infrastructure lacks proper maintenance funding and is poorly equipped to deal with the increasing demands it’s faced with as the state continues to grow, the report says. While grades for aviation, road and bridge infrastructure have improved, funding remains inadequate to meet future capacity and funding needs.
